昨晚﹐吃了一頓有趣的晚餐﹐是和老爹的朋友一家人吃飯。老爹的朋友遲婚﹐兩個小孩相對比較小﹐一個十三歲﹐一個十一歲。小朋友可愛﹐整天笑嘻嘻﹐帶點香港兒童的精靈。
席間﹐小孩的媽媽著幼女問我做甚麼工作。我就和她們玩起了《是不是》遊戲﹐讓她們運用一下小腦袋。「是不是老師﹖」「是不是護士﹖」「警察﹖」「消防員﹖」「清潔的嗎﹖」「廚師﹖」她們連珠發問﹐我笑著搖頭﹕「都不是。」她們一連說了幾個需要體力的工作﹐我告訴她們﹐我這麼矮小怎能勝任呢﹖
兩隻小精靈﹐轉一轉眼珠﹐想想也是﹐大女就問﹕「是不是要用電腦﹖」幼女也搶著問﹕「是不是OL﹖」哈哈哈﹐我說這樣問也太大範圍了。她們沒有放棄繼續拋出認識的職業接連問我﹕「做地產的嗎﹖」「做金融的嗎﹖」「好難啊﹗還有甚麼啊﹖」「是不是做會計﹖」「是不是做機器﹖」
這時孩子的母親也忍不住加入猜謎遊戲﹐試著叫女兒們要不要問我大學選甚麼科目﹖我笑說這豈不是開始另一個《是不是》遊戲﹖
突然﹐幼女大叫﹕「公務員﹗」我說方向對了﹐但政府部門這麼多工作﹐究竟是甚麼呢﹖兩個小孩很興奮知道方向對了﹐但對於公務員有甚麼職務也茫無頭緒﹕「公務員做甚麼呀﹖」「ICAC﹖」「入境處﹖」這時﹐幼女又說﹕「議員﹗」我們哈哈大笑﹕「議員這麼巴閉﹖﹗」但是不對啊。於是大女繼續想繼續問﹐就連飯也不吃了﹕「郵差嗎﹖」「秘書嗎﹖」「打字的﹖」幼女又說﹕「律師﹗」哈哈小腦袋的答案真可愛﹐看得太多TVB的劇集嗎﹖
這時﹐孩子的母親又忍不住出手幫忙女兒們﹐問會不會是和環境有關的﹖幼女又說﹕「環保﹖」接著我說不如我告訴你我大學讀甚麼﹐你們再猜吧。
她們知道我讀城市規劃之後﹐對有甚麼職業還是說不出所以來。最後還是孩子的母親猜出比較接近的答案。問完我的工作範疇之後﹐孩子的母親問我這份工作可以晋升到甚麼程度﹖我給的答案相信對這位港媽和我媽媽有點失望﹐我說我沒有想過晋升這問題。隨著這問題和答案的結束﹐我們轉移話題﹐繼續吃飯去。
昨晚的飯局﹐讓我看到一個有趣的現象。
這兩個小孩所說出的職業﹐就是她們日常能夠接觸到﹐也反映她們確實被香港這個金融社會和政黨議題所薰陶。
然後﹐港媽的問題很現實。誠然﹐晋升是很多人心中的一個目標或指標。不然﹐香港不會有這麼多補習社﹑活動班﹑進修班。父母總會覺得不要讓孩子輸在起跑線上﹐證書要有一堆﹐每年出遊讓孩子們增廣見聞﹐考上名校就光宗耀祖。打工仔就更要多加進修﹐OT兼職搵多兩餐﹐投資炒股樣樣要識﹐非要出人頭地不可。
我很慶幸我很早就隨父母移民加國﹐父母也沒有強迫我修讀一些金融經濟或電腦IT的學科﹐而是任由我的興趣發展。或許我未能賺大錢﹑升大職﹐被人layoff後可能出路會很窄也說不定﹐不過﹐我滿意我現在的人生。抱歉的向媽媽說聲﹕對不起﹐我沒能夠賺更多錢﹐也沒想過升上管理層。現在生活夠用不就很好了嗎﹖
晋升﹐我不是沒想過﹐但不是在想地上的﹐而是天上的。我幸運地有一份比較安穩的工作﹐令我能夠在空餘的時間做著《生命恩泉》這事工﹐為天主工作﹐儲備天上的財富﹐好能有天能夠“晋升”天堂。
看到這裡的你﹐或許會笑我傻﹑笑我笨﹑笑我被宗教信仰迷得一陣陣。無論如何﹐這就是我現在的生活態度。
每天營營役役﹐為生活忙碌的你﹐就是為了追求生活品質的提升嗎﹖
祝願你平安﹑健康﹑快樂。

神 我以往隻顧慮學業 和擔憂學業
我竟然忽略了支持 贊美常常找不到時間去完成這麼多恩寵的好友 神我 竟然隻顧慮學業和工作 顧慮太多 而忘記了這麼一個姐姐常對我的慰問關心
我今天知道神特別支持文文vv 握住時間 把握生命
神我今天知道錯了 我會希望神給她特別的保佑
知道我是十分擔憂她 希望她一切安好
我希望神你特別記得她是每天很需要時間的支持她能將所有的交托你
我希望神容許她能踏過人生所有幽暗
我后悔沒有好好珍惜這分友誼
我希望神你特別記得她是每天很需要支持 朋友的鼓勵
求神讓她孤立是能得到我無限的支持
她能將所有的交托你
希望她一切安好
